Fred Nile, you do not speak for me on Muslim Immigration!

Today, Fred Nile of the New South Wales Christian Democrats has announced that Austalia should place a moratorium on Islamic immigration.

As a Christian, let me say loudly and clearly: you do not speak for me! Despite all the problems with Islam, I fully affirm Australia's non-discriminatory immigration policy. Does Nile really want to go back to the days of racial or religious tests as part of Australia's immigration policy?

Muslim immigration is good, in that it leads to more mixing of Muslims and Christians, and so hopefully better understanding. Besides, many Muslim immigrants are fleeing the excesses of Islam fanaticism in their home countries.

I hope other Christian politicians will strongly repudiate Nile's ill-conceived words.
